-3 5/9-1 3/9
An equation has an equal sign. Your problem does not have an equal sign.
Do you want someone to show you how to do this subtraction problem?
perhaps it is a expression you want evaluated
- 4 8/9
Of course, I can help you with that equation.
The equation you provided is:
-3 5/9 - 1 3/9
To solve this equation, we need to subtract these two mixed numbers.
Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Rewrite the mixed numbers as improper fractions:
-3 5/9 = -32/9
-1 3/9 = -12/9
2. Subtract the fractions:
-32/9 - (-12/9)
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator, which is already 9 in this case.
-32/9 - (-12/9) = -32/9 + 12/9
3. Combine the fractions:
-32/9 + 12/9 = -20/9
So the solution to the equation -3 5/9 - 1 3/9 is -20/9.
